Question

$$x-21=2 { x }^{ 2 }$$

Answer

x=-(-1+sqrt(167)*IM)/4,-(-1-sqrt(167)*IM)/4

Solution


Move all terms to one side.
\[x-21-2{x}^{2}=0\]
Use the Quadratic Formula.
\[x=\frac{-1+\sqrt{167}\imath }{-4},\frac{-1-\sqrt{167}\imath }{-4}\]
Simplify solutions.
\[x=-\frac{-1+\sqrt{167}\imath }{4},-\frac{-1-\sqrt{167}\imath }{4}\]
